It’s been a long time since the excellent JRPG Tales of Symphonia was released on the GameCube in 2003. Now, to celebrate its tenth anniversary, it (and its sequel) have been remastered in HD in Japan. But the question remains: Just how much better does it look on the PS3?

Tales of Symphonia was released in Japan as part of the Tales of Symphonia Chronicles HD collection for the PS3 on October 10, 2013. It is scheduled for a US and European release in February 2014.
